In the world of contemporary automotive engineering, Formula Student Cars are one of the most fashionable vehicles. Scientists from all over the world admire this marvel's immense development. This paper looks into the aerodynamic down and drag force’s impact on a Formula 1 student car's front wing while speeding. For the investigation, we removed the SD7032 model aerofoil front wing of the Formula 1 student car. We conducted the investigation using the numerical analysis method in ANSYS Engineering Simulation Software (student version). We implemented angles of attack of 0°, -5°, -10°, -15°, -20°, -45°, -60°, and -90° in a virtual C15 model, Wind Tunnel, at speeds of 30 kmh^(-1), 40 kmh^(-1), 50 kmh^(-1), 60 kmh^(-1), 70 kmh^(-1), 80 kmh^(-1), 90 kmh^(-1), 100 kmh^(-1), 110kmh^(-1), and 120 kmh^(-1). The results of generative drag and down force showed that the Formula student cars can further improve their performance with the use of the SD7032 model aerofoil.
